Ingredients

Green Goddess Bowl

1 cup green lentils
1 bunch lacinato kale chopped
1 lemon juiced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil optional, omit if oil free
2 zucchinis spiralized, or peel ribbons with a potato peeler
2 English cucumbers quartered lengthwise and sliced
2 cup green peas
3 cup green beans halved
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped

Green Goddess Sauce

3 lemons juiced
½ cup plain unsweetened dairy free yogurt
½ ripe avocado
1 jalapeno
½ bunch cilantro
½ bunch parsley
¼ cup mint
1 garlic clove
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp fresh ginger
½ cup water more or less for desired texture
salt and pepper

Instructions

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add lentils and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender but not mushy. I like them pretty firm for this dish. Drain and rinse with cool water.
Add chopped kale to a bowl with olive oil and lemon juice. Use your hands to massage the leaves for 15-30 seconds until tender. Massaging kale brings out a delightfully sweet taste and creates a softer texture, making it much less rigid and bitter.
Fill the same sauce pan you used for the lentils with water. Bring to a boil and add green beans. Boil for 1-2 minutes until they become just slightly more vibrant and tender. Drain and transfer immediately to an ice bath to cool.
Add all ingredients for sauce to a blender and purée until creamy. Season to taste.
Arrange all veggies, lentils, and seeds in bowls. Drizzle with sauce right before serving. Toss to combine!
